Looking from the sky, it looks like a large, bright eye! It is as big as 500 playgrounds. The Eye looks like a big round pizza (圆形的比萨) with different colored parts. Millions of years ago, the ground under the desert started to rise (上升). Then, wind and rain slowly wore away the soft rocks (柔软的岩石), leaving the hard ones behind. Over time, these hard rocks formed the beautiful circles (圆圈) we see today. You can count about 10 round circles, each one has a different color. The big circle is on the outside, with small ones inside. But the Eye of the Sahara is in trouble (困境). When there is strong wind, the sand (沙子) will cover the rocks and make the circles hard to see. Also, not many people know about this amazing place because it’s far from big cities. As a result, few people will plan to do something for it. What can we do to help? Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand. Some people also suggest building a road and a visitor center nearby. This way, more and more people can come and see the Eye of the Sahara and do something for it. 1．What does the Eye of the Sahara look like? A．A playground. B．A bright sky. C．A colorful pizza.

In fact, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Peru (秘鲁). The South American country is home to wonderful natural sights, and the most famous one is Rainbow Mountain. Millions of tourists come for it every year. Rainbow Mountain is also called Mountain of Seven Colors. As its name shows, the mountain has different colors. Millions of tourists come here every year. But what makes the mountain look like it is painted in yellows, greens, reds and purples? The reason lies in the ice. When it began to melt (融化), the water mixed with minerals (矿物质) in the ground, turning the earth into the many colors you see today. If you plan your trip to the mountain, you’d better visit it during warmer months when there will be less rain or snow. The best time begins in March and lasts nine months, when there will be blue skies and fine weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or during evening hours, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days will probably stop you from taking nice photos.

Of the three types of forests, boreal forests have the shortest growing season, about 130 days. There days are cold, making it difficult for life. The largest boreal forest is in Russia, Europe.

It’s a special place in the desert of Mauritania, Africa. Looking from the sky, it looks like a large, bright eye! It is as big as 500 playgrounds. The Eye looks like a big round pizza (圆形的比萨) with different colored parts. Millions of years ago, the ground under the desert started to rise (上升). Then, wind and rain slowly wore away the soft rocks (柔软的岩石), leaving the hard ones behind. Over time, these hard rocks formed the beautiful circles (圆圈) we see today. You can count about 10 round circles, each one has a different color. The big circle is on the outside, with small ones inside. But the Eye of the Sahara is in trouble (困境). When there is strong wind, the sand (沙子) will cover the rocks and make the circles hard to see. Also, not many people know about this amazing place because it’s far from big cities. As a result, few people will plan to do something for it. What can we do to help? Scientists are studying the Eye to find ways to conserve the rocks from sand. Some people also suggest building a road and a visitor center nearby. This way, more and more people can come and see the Eye of the Sahara and do something for it. 1．What does the Eye of the Sahara look like? A．A playground. B．A bright sky. C．A colorful pizza. D．A large desert. 2．What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A．How the Eye of the Sahara forms. B．When we can see the beautiful circles. C．What we can do for the Eye of the Sahara. D．Why few people know about the Eye of the Sahara. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to? A．The sand. B．The strong wind. C．The big city. D．The Eye of the Sahara. 4．What does the underlined word “conserve” in paragraph 4 mean? A．Take. B．Protect. C．Climb. D．Find. 5．What is the main purpose (目的) of the text? A．To ask more people to visit the wonder. B．To talk about different deserts in Africa. C．To tell the story of a famous place in Africa. D．To introduce the natural wonder and ask for help. Have you ever dreamed of traveling all the way over the rainbow (彩虹)? In fact, it’s easier than you think. All you need to do is to book a plane ticket to Peru (秘鲁). The South American country is home to wonderful natural sights, and the most famous one is Rainbow Mountain. Millions of tourists come for it every year. Rainbow Mountain is also called Mountain of Seven Colors. As its name shows, the mountain has different colors. Millions of tourists come here every year. But what makes the mountain look like it is painted in yellows, greens, reds and purples? The reason lies in the ice. When it began to melt (融化), the water mixed with minerals (矿物质) in the ground, turning the earth into the many colors you see today. If you plan your trip to the mountain, you’d better visit it during warmer months when there will be less rain or snow. The best time begins in March and lasts nine months, when there will be blue skies and fine weather. At the same time, visit it in the morning or during evening hours, either right after sunrise or right before sunset. Very sunny days will probably stop you from taking nice photos. The other important thing to remember is that the mountain is about 5,200 meters high above sea level, so prepare enough water and take your time. 1．How does the writer start the text?
